Title: Curtains? Drapes? Blinds? Oh my!
Post by: Oregonconversion on April 22, 2010, 12:54:08 PM
I am l looking for some sort of window covers. I found this picture and like this style because it will go over 2 windows at once, but I am still looking for options. Anyone have a picture of what they ended up doing? Or maybe a link of a place on the net where I can look at options?

I am tired of my aluminum bubble foil cut outs already.  ::)

Go to Menards and price some cell shades. The place Cliff gave you will look cheap!

It is easy to make professional looking Roman shades without a lot of talent or equipment.  Lisa and I made them for our house after seeing a friend's beautiful handmade shades.  If you don't want to sew, a local seamstress should not cost much.
